Taking the next step in its evolution, the Portland ReStore has moved into a retail-friendly store in the Gateway district. What began as an occasional ‘garage sale’ conducted to clear out excess materials has grown into a full-fledged retail operation with stores in Portland, Vancouver and Beaverton. This year, the three stores combined expect to contribute $475,000 towards Habitat for Humanity’s local homebuilding efforts. With attractive conveniences for donors and shoppers, the new store positions the three-store operation to increase its contributions to Habitat to $1 million dollars annually within the next five years.

The Portland ReStore’s new location is more accessible to neighborhoods on the east side and along the I205 corridor. Shel Mae, ReStore manager says, “We are thrilled to open this ReStore in the heart of East Portland! Customers, donors, staff and volunteers will find this a pleasant, well organized place to shop and work, and we are looking forward to serving and working with this community.”
